The 2018 Forte lineup offers you a choice of a practical 4-door or Euro-styled 5-door hatchback, each replete with a generous warranty, lots of standard features and a decent price. If you’re looking for an attractive, stylish, comfortable and well-equipped compact with the highest crash-test safety ratings, you’ll like the Kia Forte.
If you’re looking for a diesel engine in this class, the Kia Forte is not for you; check out the Chevy Cruze. If all-wheel drive is on your wish list, shop the Subaru Impreza or the VW Golf SportWagen. If a hybrid interests you, shift over to the Kia Niro. The Kia Forte is also light on rear-seat legroom compared to the Honda Civic.
